Red, Dark Green, and Yellow are yours. iShares/ETF's are the way to go.

I agree with Zlasher, I should of suggested ETF's to begin with. ETF's are funds that don't really need much managing on your end. All you have to do is put money in and collect points. However, if you do want to dabble into the stock market by picking your own stocks, you could begin with some of the stocks I suggested, stocks will require more management than ETFs.
If you decide to go the ETF route, I would suggest:
IXJ, VDC, IJH
If you go stocks, remember it's about picking stocks you feel are fairly valued. Pick discounted stocks such as Apple AAPL which is currently selling 338 but worth 450 and not overpriced stocks such as Netflix NFLX which is selling at 239 but worth 100. As of today 5/18/2011: I still like VNDA, MAS, and/or KBH.
